Located on the pristine Bahía de Banderas on the Pacific Coast, Puerto Vallarta is more than just a beach resort city; it's the second-largest urban agglomeration in Jalisco and pulsates with an ambiance that perfectly marries tradition with modernity. Named after Ignacio Vallarta, a former governor of Jalisco, 'Vallarta' sports a cultural richness few other Mexican tourist destinations can boast.

Indeed, Puerto Vallarta has a history as deep as the emerald coves that fringe its shoreline. Over the centuries, this land transformed from a terrain of prehistoric human habitation to a critical safe harbour explored by Hernán Cortés, before becoming a small fishing village of peaceful pearl divers. Come the 19th century, Puerto Vallarta was elevated to municipality status. Then in the 1950s attracted famous American artists and writers drawn by its bucolic aura.

Puerto Vallarta's current stature as a major resort destination is a testament to its layered history, splendid climate, scenic beauty, and untold stories hidden in every corner. Whether it's the pirate tales of yore, the role of the Union en Cuale mining company, or the influence of the movie "The Night of the Iguana" filmed here, Puerto Vallarta beckons you to uncover its fascinating narrative.

When to visit Puerto Vallarta

Puerto Vallarta shines brightest from December to March, when you can witness the awe-inspiring spectacle of whale watching under the pleasant weather. From July to September, during off-peak season, the city reveals its quieter side with discounted rates on tours and cheaper flights. May, the shoulder season, sees fewer tourists and more savings, making it a favourable choice for thrifty travellers.

Irrespective of when you visit, remember to pack the essentials – a reef-safe sunblock, comfortable walking shoes, a wide-brimmed hat, and a refilling water bottle. After all, exploring the treasures of this Pacific Eden should be a breeze.
